Just like finance, medicine also required a solid foundation in the sciences. Lysander applied meticulous attention to detail from her work, wishing she could see right through the paper.

Yet, the outcome was still barely satisfactory. She had no idea what the data should look like under normal circumstances.

“How can we tell if there’s anything unusual?”

Josiah nodded. “The marketing department has always been a major expense for the company, and high travel costs are to be expected. However, considering the size and scale of Thorne Constructions and Energies, these travel expenses have exceeded the normal range by more than tenfold.”

Lysander, filled with puzzlement, asked, “You even know about such trivial matters as travel expenses?”

Josiah accepted it, his expression filled with contentment. “You truly are a promising seedling worth nurturing. Although you were late to catch on, everything turned out right. Moreover, look at this,” he pointed out, “The number of orders that Lennox brought in is this much, but the revenue it generated for the company is only this much. Something’s not right here.”
